Carter is feeling the immense weight of running Forrester Creations alongside Hope Logan. Initially, he believed that aligning with Hope would steer the company in a new, successful direction. However, managing such a massive empire has turned out to be far more challenging than he ever anticipated. As Hope continues to push him to maintain their grip on power, Carter finds himself growing more and more exhausted.
The pressure finally reaches a breaking point, and Carter explodes—yelling at Hope for dragging him into this overwhelming situation. He makes it clear that he no longer wants to carry this burden. Hope is stunned by his outburst, never realizing just how much stress he has been under. She tries to calm him down, but Carter isn’t easily convinced. He feels like he has sacrificed too much for this power struggle and has received nothing in return.
Ridge Forrester sees an opportunity in Carter’s frustration and may step in to persuade him to walk away from his position. Meanwhile, Brooke Logan warns Hope that she is pushing Carter too far, and if she isn’t careful, she could lose his support entirely. Steffy Forrester seizes the chance to apply even more pressure on Hope, forcing her to reconsider her actions and decisions.
As Carter wrestles with his feelings, he may make a life-changing decision regarding his career and future at Forrester Creations. Ridge remains relentless in his mission to reclaim control of the company, sensing Carter’s uncertainty and aiming to shift the power back into the Forrester family’s hands. Brooke urges Hope to reconsider her approach if she wants to keep Carter on her side, while Steffy consults with Taylor to devise a plan that would return Forrester Creations to its rightful leadership.
Meanwhile, Liam Spencer could step in if he notices that Hope is struggling to keep things together, which might further complicate her situation. Elsewhere, Finn and Luna will find themselves caught up in an unexpected twist in their own storyline.
In the end, Carter is completely drained and no longer wants to bear the overwhelming pressure of running the company. Will Hope be able to convince him to stay, or will he decide to walk away, handing the power back to the Forrester family? Stay tuned to The Bold and the Beautiful for all the intense drama ahead!
